Noon: MMA class. Worked ground with my coach, going over some stuff I'm still bad at - passing guard, countering a specific pass, etc. I did have one moment I'm proud of - fending off the rape choke with a double-armbar, and countering the pass attempt that was really the whole point of the choke and retaining guard. I was pretty pleased I knew the end goal even as I countered the first attack.

A bit of soreness from yesterday, but not too much. Been spending a lot of time thinking about my mistakes during my training with my coach. I get really frustrated at my mistakes, although it's clear I'm making more advanced mistakes than before (or he's forcing me into them, to see where I go next). Still I need to find a way to get to MMA more often.

I got my 20kg kettlebell back from a friend, and I'm going to try to get some extra exercise in when I can. Nothing too much - just some swings and whatever else feels good. Today this was post-walk and pre-breakfast.

Swings - felt fine, but surprisingly (to me) winded me a lot.

C&PP - not sure my shoulder will tolerate this but I wanted to try and we'll see how it feels.

Squats - not deep, and my left knee (not the scoped one) felt it a little. I need to figure out why.

May add farmer's walks but I feel silly walking around the house with a KB and equally silly walking around the block with it. Which is funny to say, but there you go.

This was me being stupid. I felt kind of under the weather today, like I had a cold coming on. But you know, I don't want to miss a workout. So I did my swings. Felt okay, but then my back was tight (until I did the psoas rolling, which cleared it up instantly). Then I did front squats and mountain climbers. Then I really felt my cold, and I had to take a nap and take it easy the rest of the day.

Foolish, really - I knew I was getting sick but I pushed it a little instead of leaving well enough alone. The workout felt great, but it wasn't necessary and may impact my ability to train tomorrow.
